Footnotes

  1. 1 John 2:5 Or word, God’s love

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

21 Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.(A) The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,(B) and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

22 Then Judas(C) (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”(D)

23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.(E) My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.(F) 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.(G)

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
